Tom, the need for CD-ROM drives on server has little to do with removability, and plenty to do with how the data arrives. e.g. on CD-roms, as well as cost.

On the other hand, I do see demand for CD-ROMs on servers lessening, as you can buy the eqivalent hard disk space now for about the cost of the CD-ROM drive.

In fact, where I work, we already are simply copying the CD-ROMs onto a server hard disk. While it takes a while to do the copy vs. just flipping a CD-ROM into the drive, the hard drive is more reliable and faster.
